In most states divorce is noted as the termination of a marriage and stands as a decree by the court that a legitimate marriage is no longer in existence and also determines the separation of property as well as child custody and child support arrangements. Although a divorce can be an emotional process, through the use of mediation, the majority of cases do not end up in a dispute trial. In order to receive approval of an agreed upon solution, the mediation process must be presented to a judge by the two parties involved. The court can make a decision for the parties, if they are unable to settle upon an agreement based on support, custody, and/or property.

If you need legal help and assistance concerning a divorce, you can either check with your local Family Law Center or a divorce attorney for assistance and request mediation.

Within most states, a threshold requirement of domicile or residency for at least one of the parties is required to attain a divorce. Domicile, is considered to be the state which an individual calls “home.” Residency refers to state in which an individual lives. In most states with residency requirements, a specified duration of time must be held in order for one too claim residency, which varies from state to state. For those states that have no requirement concerning residency, a person can seek divorce upon arrival in the state.
